Black diamond Whitefish, MT
Connie's Coulee drops 471 vertical feet over 1,224 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 39° about 490 feet below the top. That's steeper than 94% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 107 named runs at Whitefish. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 23°, Connie's Coulee gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitefish does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 80th sunniest named run at Whitefish. Its top sits at 6,750 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
